Why stay dry in a raft? Grab your friends and take these beauties for a cruise while you #FloatTheBow in style.
Shuttle Service is back!!

No more sellouts! An extra 20 rafts means even more can #GetTheirLazyOn.
How it works: 3 simple steps
- Choose your vessel and determine whether you need shuttle service, then book a date and time of your preference – we’re open 7 days a week with extended evening hours for sunset floats.
- If you’ve booked the optional shuttle, head to our shop in the Calgary Curling Club to hop on. If you’re not taking the shuttle, head to West Baker Park Boat Ramp. In either case, your raft and gear will be sanitized, inflated, and ready to go!
- Float 15 kilometres down the Bow (which takes 2 to 4 hours depending on river flow) into the heart of the city to the endpoint across from Prince’s Island Park. You are always welcome to take your time and stop at the many parks and islands that you’ll float lazily by (but if you do, make sure somebody watches your raft so nobody sneaks off with it!).
Transportation tip!
The Lazy Day Shuttle is back! We heard last year from many floaters that the shuttle was sorely missed – so we’re very happy to announce its return for the 2022 season. From 10am to 5pm we’ll be running floaters from the Lazy Day shop at the end point over to the departure point at the West Baker Park boat launch.
If you wish to take the shuttle, you’ll find options to purchase seats within each rental product listing. If the option is greyed out, it means that the shuttle is full that hour.

Ranked the #1 Outdoor Activity in Calgary for the 5th year in a row!
We had a great time in our 4-person rented raft, thanks to the professional and friendly staff at Lazy Day. Would definitely recommend them to others. Free parking, logistics was easy, and when the float is over, you can enjoy Prince's Island Park and Eau Claire.

Lazy Day Raft Rentals made rafting down the river effortless as they had the raft ready for us at Baker Park and helped pull us out after the Peace Bridge -- Thanks for making it so easy!

Friendly staff and super convenient. We had such a great time! So nice to just pull up to shore and leave the boat and life jackets with the attendant.

We had a great day rafting from Bowness park to the fish hatchery. Took about 4 hours. Raft was easy to rent set up and take down. I would rent from them again!

The experience with this company was exactly what we wanted. Fast efficient in and out of the water, great service by the people at both ends, and priced fairly.

What An amazing day and so easy to meet the guys down at the launch with boat already blown up. Easy float to the blue flag where we were greeted with the staff of lazy day rentals. They helped all of us out of the raft and then they pulled the raft for us out of the river. Super easy and convenient! What a blast!
